Keep in mind where the real battle's going to be fought in 2012.

The GOP already knows this, because all the "serious people" who want to be President are sitting out in 2012 and waiting for 2016. They've already seen their internal polling, and know that it would take a major miracle for them to beat Obama.

So they're pushing their resources elsewhere. Specifically, at the Senate. They want the Senate badly, and we need to be fighting tooth and nail to make sure they don't get it.

We should also be pushing to take back the House. The GOP shot themselves in the foot bigtime with the Ryan budget and the gutting of Medicare, so the wind's at our backs. But we need to make sure we're fighting very hard for the Senate. Because so many more Democratic seats are up for election than Republican seats, that's where Rove and his goons are focusing.

The way they're thinking, if they get big enough majorities in the House and Senate, they can try impeaching Obama, and force him to waste his second term fighting impeachment, while being completely unable to move when it comes to lawmaking. They probably will only be able to wound Medicare now, but if they get the Senate, they'll kill Medicare, deliberately torpedo the economy, and Jeb Bush will waiting, ready to sail into the White House.
